Kidnapped in Dunvegan by ElenaMacKenzie

Linda has just finished her degree, but unfortunately doesn't get the job at a museum in London she was hoping for. She then receives a letter from her former professor asking her to restore numerous paintings at his estate on the Isle of Skye. As Linda is in desperate need of money, she decides to make the journey. At the estate, she meets Adam, the professor's son, who is not at all happy about Linda staying at Glenoak Hall. This is because his father had not summoned Linda to restore the paintings in the gallery, but so that his son would fall in love with her. Adam can't deal with permanent relationships at all, but he does enjoy one-night stands with the many female tourists he regularly picks up. Linda on the other hand doesn't have any time for men like Adam, even if he is unbelievably attractive. And if that wasn't enough, the women who have just hopped out of the highlander's bed have been brutally murdered. An exciting romantic novel that takes the reader from London to the Isle of Skye.
